[Qgis-user] Add Delimited Text Layer plugin problem

[Ricardo Filipe Soares Garcia da]

Hello Borys and all

I discovered the issue: my desired numeric attribute column has some
missing values.The Add Delimited Text Layer plugin behaves in such a
way that if any of the values are missing it will assume the data is
of type Text. This actually makes sense.

Thanks for your help
